Minnesota Storieswww.mnstories.comRocketboom correspondent Chuck Olsen specializes in local color. One day he'll cover a Minneapolis band, the next a regional game like unicycle hockey. The best clips star Chuck himself, like when he donned a Santa suit last holiday season to answer viewer email.

One America Committeeblog.oneamericacommittee.com/videoblog
I'm biased because I helped set this up, but Senator John Edwards' official vlog is democracy in action: Send him a question on video and he'll post a video reply.

Kevin Sites hosts Yahoo!'s weekly survey of war-torn regions, Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone.
Crooks and Liarswww.crooksandliars.com
Ignore the political slant. There's no better place to keep up with Jon Stewart's war on CNN or Keith Olbermann's campaign against Bill O'Reilly.

C-SPANwww.c-span.org
You may think of C-SPAN as Grandpa's network, but Brian Lamb and company are way ahead online, offering live feeds and archived features.

Ebaum's Worldwww.ebaumsworld.com
This is the place to see jackass stunts like a snowmobiler landing a flip. It also has a great archive of classic viral clips – in case your spam filter blocked them when they got emailed around the world.

Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose host Diggnation's weekly video digest of top stories from www.digg.com.
Ask a Ninjaaskaninja.com
Never in the history of covert warfare has there been such an unflinching look into the psyche of an assassin. Pure comedy gold.

Liam Lynch is a digital renaissance man: actor, puppeteer, f/x whiz, 3-D animator, producer of MTV's Sifl and Olly Show, director of Tenacious D videos, and singer of "The United States of Whatever." Lynchland is his own private Saturday Night Live.

Ravi Jain's DriveTimedrivetime.ravijain.org
This is how all interview shows should be conducted: early in the morning, with a steaming cup of coffee, in the passenger seat of Jain's car.

64mm Vlogwww.64mm.com/vlog
Our childhood in a vlog: hotdog skateboarders tearing up the ramps. 64mm has an old-school look and feel. We keep expecting the Bones Brigade to show up!

My LEAST Favorite Vlogs

Strong Bad is sysadmin at HomestarRunner.com, where he checks email and blows up computers.
Boring But Shortboringbutshort.com
The "boring" part is right, but at 10 seconds, these clips are 9.5 seconds too long. They should change the URL to boringbutnotshortenough.com.

Badminton Friendsbadminton.chorwong.com/video.html
For some reason, there's a lot of badminton videos out there on the Great Wide Web. They all make me want to tear my eyeballs out, but these are the worst. I'll give $4 to anyone who can tell me why I watched every one of them.
